List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.2

[Dard Ball Get]

Was he laughable when he was getting leather poisoning in the tac as a mid ? Paddy Dow ring a bell. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve got my wires crossed we are talking and Zak jones here ?.

Jack Higgins Draft Profile

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "One of the smartest small forwards in the Under 18 competition, possessesing great goal nous and can push into the midfield and win the contested ball."

central.rookieme.com

He no longer plays TAC, he’s the number one goal kicker for the St Kilda football club in the AFL. So when suggested he would be good midfield depth cover, yes, we are laughing

 

[HeavenlySources]

This doesn’t make any sense why we aren’t beating Melbourne if that’s there offer.

If we are willing to offer F1 + F2 for 13 to Gold Coast

Surely we would be willing to offer that plus more to beat Melbourne’s offer for 9?

One of these reporters is speculating more than the other

 

[Tommy Wigs]

The trade must be in our favour or we won’t do it. We hold the position of power in this one.

Why is it that the Eagles are desperate and not us climbing up to 3?

 

[snails13]

This forum has exploded in the last hour or so. Fans are worried we are going to do a dud trade involving one of our first round picks. It’s going to a very rocky next 2-3 days on here. Strap in.

Purple will be happy

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Ffs so what happened to us!!

Triple All Australian Macrae finished only 20th in the Western Bulldogs best-and-fairest after being handed the subs vest four times and is due a significant wage above $800,000 for the next two years of a contract with three seasons remaining.
The Bulldogs are bemused that it took over three weeks for the Saints to make any contact about Macrae after he declared his interest to move from Whitten Oval to Moorabbin.

But the Saints have a walkaway point in the potential trade, simply unwilling to impact a 2024 draft hand that is currently at picks seven, eight, 27 and 47.
They are hoping the Dogs will accept a future third or fourth-rounder for the 30-year-old who they pushed to high half forward for much of the year when he was in the senior side.
Given he is due over $2 million in salary obligations, the Saints are happy to absorb that salary but unwilling to give up a pick of any substance.
They will make their midfield a priority with picks seven and eight so are keen on Macrae as midfield depth but not at the expense of their draft hand

 

[HeavenlySources]

If we are going to pick swap at all then anything other than being left with 3 & 7 is a loss IMO that sets us up perfectly, otherwise just stay on 7 & 8

 

[Tommy Wigs]

If we miss 9, we better bid at 7.

 

[bird_man]

Melbourne beat us to the punch it would seem

 

[Mop]

I’m happy to trade 8, but we must keep 7.
My ideal scenario would be 8+27 for WC 3 and a late pick or two coming back our way.
There are 7 elite mids in the open pool, not 8.

Pick 3 - FOS/Lalor/Jagga/Draper
Pick 7 - Smillie/slider if there is one

Midfield sorted, rebuilt complete.

Just my two cents while I'm here, that doesn't help the Eagles get Baker which we're apparently hellbent on getting (to our disgust)

I don't know what getting the above achieves.

 

[akaifu]

The pick 9 dream is over now that Cal is reporting it

 

[Yawkey way]

He no longer plays TAC, he’s the number one goal kicker for the St Kilda football club in the AFL. So when suggested he would be good midfield depth cover, yes, we are laughing

You just love jones because of his bald shaved head

 

[heynow85]

Goodbye 9

 

[botts]

Goodbye 9

We either arnt involved or Essendon are stupid.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Albeit the Saints get no attention on anything apart from “wHY HavENT YOU doNE MicKRAe yet?”. So quite possibly in the frame with a similar deal.

 

[tommo7]

Why is it that the Eagles are desperate and not us climbing up to 3?

We would unlock the trade for baker.

 

[Joffaboy]

Oh dear you bunch of dreary concern trolls
1. All this coming for our picks has been predicted since we got pick 8
2. These are the first shots and speculation from the likes of Tom Morris doesn't make it fact.
3. Any trade will favour us, we are not the desperate ones to get trades done.
4. Bye Mrs Soldo, we hardly knew you.
5. Hello Goobers mum ( again)
6. Zac Jones was given a one year contact FFS. He was good at the end of the year.
7. Grant Thomas has and always will be an arrogant, out of touch pain in the arse. Aldi Sam Newman.

We either arnt involved or Essendon are stupid.

That’s really tipping over into quite silly territory, which I don’t think I’d want to do (eg F1, 27, 47).

 

[LeonardHayes87]

Melbourne are the best pick swap team in the AFL… they have exploited that part of the trade system to their advantage more than anyone else.

 

[akaifu]

Just my two cents while I'm here, that doesn't help the Eagles get Baker which we're apparently hellbent on getting (to our disgust)

I don't know what getting the above achieves.

A lot of the scenarios people suggest on here are pointless

 

[Gavinmitchell11]

All in on this draft is fine with me.
Then try to nab Callaghan next off season.
If we get 3 players as good as Nas, Phillipou and Wilson this draft. We’ve got a core that could play together for 10 years.
Future first to anyone who has a pick 15-20 is fine with me provided it’s used on the ruckman Dodson, who’s had 30+ disposal/30+ hit outs games for Sturt U18s.

 

[Yawkey way]

Let’s see how much of this actually happens, looks like a Sunday afternoon blitz to prime the last few days of the trade period.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Very interesting. One way of looking at this is that Essendon seem to rate us as likely to have a better 2025 then Melbourne to opt for their future 1st over ours. So yay? I guess?

 

[bird_man]

Melbourne offering 28 and 40 gives the Bombers a lot of points for Kako

 

[HeavenlySources]

Clearly, Essendon still haven’t forgiven us for the 50 point belting we gave them

We literally have a better deal on offer for 9 do clubs really think Melbourne is going to implode next year?
